Musical maestros from a Latchford high school impressed the military’s top brass at an armed forces event.

Pupils from Sir Thomas Boteler CE High School, on Grammar School Road showed just why the school had been awarded specialist music school status with performances at an event held at the NorthWest Regional Development Agency headquarters at Centre park.

The musicians performed for current and former armed forces staff and were praised by visiting defence secretary Bob Ainsworth.
